As the title says. PS5 is a pain in the arse for not putting patch notes on the console and I hate having to scour the internet to try and find what's new in an update. Whether it be "join our Discord" or Facebook pages or hoping someone posts it in a subreddit. So are there any sites or apps that do this well?

    If the reason you're out of work is obesity and you can get something for free to help you back into work, how is that not beneficial for everyone?

    Or is it better for people to just be stuck on benefits forever?

    I switched from Samsung to Pixel and I'm on my second Pixel phone now and they're great. So much better OS and smoother than OneUI ever was.

    Most political issues are a waste of time even trying to talk about on social media, because people on all sides love their echo chambers, and any reasonable argument from a different viewpoint is met with consternation, rather than a healthy debate.

    The problem with the death penalty is largely down to potential miscarriages of justice.

    What if they get the wrong person and some innocent is put to death? Do you really want the state to have that sort of power over its citizens?

    Yes. Most AAA stuff now is just copy and paste because games cost so much to make and so they want a guaranteed return on their investment.

    But I think consumers are getting tired of that now, as Ubisoft's declining sales seem to be demonstrating.

    We’ve had fourteen years of successive Conservative governments promising to “cut red tape,” and all we have to show for it is a flatlining economy and falling living standards.

    That's because they didn't actually cut any red tape, they just liked talking about doing it. Which pretty much sums up their entire tenure in government.

    Porting it to another platform, I understand.

    But I can't understand the clamour for yet another remaster, in a generation full of them.

    The media's obsession with the "first 100 days" is so stupid.

    It's a ridiculous Americanism that only really applied to one President, yet is now apparently a landmark that all governments everywhere are measured by.

    Another falsehood being repeated is that it was in development for 8 years. It wasn't. 8 years ago it was an idea.

    The actual development is around 4 years.

  • I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues. One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history. So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

    I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain. I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward. I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

    I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive. I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look? So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

    I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort. So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

    I was browsing the PS Store and spotted three of these complete rip-off games, all from the same company. And they're not even subtle rip-offs either. Take Rocket Car as an example. Looks remarkably similar to something else, doesn't it? Then there's Construction Machine Simulator. Again, remind you of anything else? Okay, there's a few of these type of games, but this one doesn't even try and disguise that it's ripping off the main game in this genre: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP6326-CUSA43614_00-0303332389496733 And finally, there's Wash Simulator. Yet another not even subtle rip off of another popular game: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10008957 These are the only ones I've spotted from a quick browse through the Store, I assume there is more. But how on Earth do companies get away with stuff like this? I can understand it on mobile app stores, but are there no checks before these games are put on the PS Store?

    Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them. The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?

    Someone sent me a DM to test it out but pressing it on doesn't do anything, so there's no way to respond. I had to log in to the website to reply. I haven't checked GitHub, so I don't know if this is known or not.

    When scrolling the feed or opening a post, the app has suddenly started freezing and there's no option other than to close it completely. But it will very quickly lock up again. This is on Android using a Pixel 4a.
